UP-DATED ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Based on a dialogue with Canada Wildlife Service and comments from our 3rd party experts, AECOM has added new mitigation to the Final EA Report on the windfarm proposed for Reserve No. 2. The addendum mitigation is intended to deal with species at risk (“SAR’s”).
At the Community Input meeting on Sunday, January 24th, our Lands Advisory Committee advised that HIFN’s draft Environmental Permit was still being reviewed by HIFN’s 3rd party experts (Arcadis and Savanta).
Impacts will occur. They are not yet determined. An Environmental Assessment will make recommendations to accommodate wildlife.
If serious impacts occur that cannot be avoided, the project will not be approved by the Province.
The Wind Farm Information Package was released in December 2008!

Employment gains are short term because only a few people with specialized skills from the power company or turbine manufacturer are required for maintenance once the installation is done.
The comments and concerns documented in the Wind Farm Concerns file are presented here to allow you to view the questions easier. Please use the right hand button bar to navigate through the questions and concerns raised to date. The file is available in PDF format on the Wind Farm Public Consultation page.
